This was our boat. Barb did a fantastic job! Replaced some of the carpet floors with vinyl and replace some of the carpeting. The boat is about 20 years old, but now it looks like it just came from the factory. Very happy with the workmanship and price. Thanks Barb!

Barb replaced the top on one of our work boats. The quality is outstanding. Many people have already made comments. Very good work and delivered in the time frame agreed upon.

I'm the owner of "Bumblebee"....

I had a job so big that I couldn't find anyone to tackle it...and then I was referred to Barb.  Once I met Barb, I knew it was a blessing that no one else had accepted the challenge.  She told me she couldn't do the job for a couple of months, but I knew it was going to be worth the wait....and it was.

This is a 25 foot pontoon boat and I needed a  full enclosure and also wanted half enclosure.  Barb started the job when she had committed to, completed it on schedule, all within the budget we agreed to.  This was a 6 week project and she sent me pictures on a weekly basis to keep me posted.  I'm planning to keep this boat for many years, so we used premium materials. 

Now I'd like to discuss the workmanship - but here I'd rather to refer to comments from someone else who has been in the business for 40+ years who I respect very much and works on highway 55.  His comment was that he's only seen this workmanship matched once in 40 years and that person was in southern Ontario - and it was many years ago.  I agree totally...there is not a stich out of place and the thought and the details that was put in this, can only be done by someone with extensive experience with attention to detail.

I'm so happy that Barb moved to Canada from Germany...our gain...their loss.   There is no doubt that Barb will be on my Christmas list as we will remain friends.  If any wants to see her workmanship first hand, just ping me.

I haven't figure out 

cheers...marc

Barb upholstered 6 dining chairs for me and did an amazing job. She had great ideas for the arms of the chairs, took the time to try them out and see what I liked and the finished product was better than what my original plan was. Thanks Barb! Love the chairs! I'm sure I will have many comments on them from company. :O)

Hi Barb Thank you for the tonneau cover that you made for my 1979 Dodge W150. Your custom cover not only looks good but has been properly tested with the heavy rains that have fallen recently. Not a drop in the truck box. Superior workmanship! Best Regards, Bill Boivin Blind River

Thank you Barb. The boat top you made for our cabin cruiser is excellent. You incorporated all the little extras that we requested. The workmanship is very professional and the top fits like a glove! Boating friends have been asking who made the top? Keep up the good work Barb, looking forward to our cruise next summer.

Hi Barb I have been using my pontoon boat all summer. You made a Bimini top for me. You recovered my seats.Then you made a very large travel cover.Mary Sue and I are very pleased with the quality of material and workmanship. The large custom made travel cover comes off easily. The zippers allow easy access.The cover rolls back on easily with all the snaps in the right place.The seats came out perfect. The Bimini stands up well in heavier winds. We highly recommend Barbara's professional work. Very satisfied customers.

Barbara recovered a chair for me. It was a beautifully built occasional chair that belonged to my grandfather and she did an amazing job to reupholster it, retaining the look and feel of the original. She used as much of the original material as she could (at my request) and restitched the original manufacturing label. The company that made the chair has been making fine furniture in Canada since 1886 and the detail of the label was important to me. A fantastic job - reasonably priced - which will make this 100 year-old chair last another hundred. Thank you, Barb!
